My AU: When is it? · 10:24am Feb 5th, 2015
Some of you may have realized that I am writing all of my stories in the same Alternate Universe. Because of this all my stories are canon to each other, but are mostly self contained. There of course will be moments within a story where you don't understand why/how/what because that happened in another story, but these will be rare.
As a consequence of my choice to write in a single AU, it may be hard to tell where each story occurs in the general order of events. To help with that, I have made this spreadsheet to track that for you guys:
It also tells you the reading order, publishing order, and primary purpose of the story you read. This will let you keep track of the main story line, which stories are just fluff, which stories are exposition disguised as entertainment, and when each story was published.
Do I really need to look at this spreadsheet you have?
2771419 No. It's just sort of there. It may come in handy later when I have a bunch of stories and someone asks me questions, that's about it.
2771422 Oh good cuse I am lazy.
2771426 No worries. Figured it would be best to track this from the get go just in case I get popular.
Looks nice, but I noticed a couple of misspellings:
'Chronological' and 'Universe'.\
Loving your stories; can't wait for more :3
2771561 Thanks! Fixed!
Also no worries, more to come. I'm writing as you read this.
3028099 I should! Thanks dude I forgot about this.
3096210 Divergence from the established canon begins at the Canterlot Wedding Episode. After the end of season 4, the canon no longer influences this AU aside from a few scattered ideas. (Mostly because s5 isn't finished for me to integrate yet)
3096946 No. I could post a much more robust version of the timeline now. That's just what I had written down at the time.
Most of the history comes in text documents like this one:

3100532 Oh that! Sure I'll get that made publicly presentable before I release anything new.
Tracking down where to begin reading, fun times
3830225 I should put a guide to this on my user page...
